"I promise to call you every day, okay Clarke?" Lexa had said whilst hugging Clarke tightly.
"But it won't be the same, you will be in Australia, and, and…I'm going to miss you, Lexa" Clarke had said, her tears soaking Lexa's shirt.
Clarke and Lexa had been best friends since they were young, being neighbors and the same age, it was easy for them to get along; it was also a good thing both their parents were good friends. When Lexa was 7, she got bad news; she got told that she would be leaving America, be leaving Clarke, to live in Australia for her dads work, she was devastated, and so was Clarke when she found out, but they had talked about how they would keep in touch, and everything was alright, but it was still hard for them both.
"Come on Lexa, we need to board the plane now" Lexa's parents were waving her over, giving a sad smile to Clarke and her parents.
Lexa gave Clarke one final hug before pulling away "May we meet again" She had said, softly, while a single tear rolled down her face.

Clarke walked downstairs into the kitchen, and was greeted by her mum
"Good morning Clarke, I never thought you would rise" Abby said, turning her head around to look at Clarke for a second
"Well here I am, what are you cooking?" Clarke sat down at the table, resting her head on her hand, looking sleepily at what her mum was doing
"I'm making some pancakes, do you want some?" Abby said, already knowing the answer
"Mum, I always want pancakes"
"Good, because I was making them for you"
"Why, you never make me breakfast" Clarke asked, a bit confused
"Well, I just wanted to make sure you eat before I head off to work" Abby brought the pancakes over to Clarke, and sat opposite her at the table
"Again, you never do this, there's something else, what is it?" Clarke said, shoving a big piece of the pancake into her mouth
"I need to leave very soon, and I would like it if you took the batch of cookies that are on the bench over to the new neighbors"
"Why did you make me pancakes just to ask me to take over the cookies?" Clarke said, still eating her pancakes
"Look at the time, I better be leaving now" Abby stood up and walked around to Clarke and kissed her on the head before walking to the entrance and grabbing her bag "Bye Clarke, I love you, have a good day, and no parties, also don't forget the cookies!" She yelled before shutting the door to head off to work.
"Ugh, fine" Clarke said to herself, taking her plate to the sink and heading upstairs to have a shower and get ready for her day.
Clarke had gotten out of the shower and had gotten dressed, she went downstairs to take the cookies to the neighbors, and was now knocking on the door. She took a step back and waited a few seconds before someone opened the door.
In front of Clarke stood a girl with long brown hair, she was wearing black skinny jeans and a black t-shirt, Clarke also noticed other features, such as the half tattoo sleeve on her lower right arm, multiple piercings in her ears, and bright green eyes, Clarke was thinking that she might be the same age or a bit older than her.
"Uhm, my mum wanted me to give these to you" Clarke said, handing the tray over to the girl. The girl in the door took the tray but was still staring at Clarke. She was just about to say something when the other person started talking
"Do I…know you?" She asked, her Australian accent filling Clarke's ears
Clarke looked the girl over again to see if she recognized her, when suddenly; it clicked to the both of them. "Clarke?" "Lexa?" they both said more to themselves, at the same time.
"I…I need to go now" Clarke said, trying to keep her emotions out of her voice but failing, she took a few steps back, looking at Lexa, thoughts covering her mind, before turning around and quickly walking back to her house.
Abby had returned home at 4:00pm and saw Clarke's sitting on the couch, looking zoned out "Clarke…?" She asked carefully
Clarke sat up straight on the couch quickly "Hm, yeah, what?"
"Nothing you just looked a little…zoned out, something on your mind?"
"I was just…thinking"
"Do you want to talk about it?" Abby said, sitting on the cushion next to Clarke slowly.
Clarke let out a sigh before looking her mum in the eyes "Why didn't you tell me…about…" She didn't finish her sentence but Abby understood what she was saying anyway.
"I didn't tell you because I didn't want to just casually say 'Oh Clarke, have I told you? Lexa's coming back' I wanted you to find out for yourself…, are you angry at me for not telling you?"
"I'm not angry, mum, but a bit of a heads up would have been nice, because now I'm filled with all these different emotions, and I don't know what to think of the situation"
"Well, I think you should go talk to Lexa, go catch up, you two are best friends after all" Abby said, nudging Clarke lightly, trying to lighten the mood
"Were, not are." Clarke said, barely audible "But, I think you're right, just go talk to her" she said louder this time, sitting up straight and collecting herself together before standing up and walking out her house.
Abby smiled at her daughter as she watched her leave the house.
Clarke walked up to Lexa's front door and knocked, she took a step back waiting for someone to answer. She waited about a minute and no one had answered, so she knocked again, harder this time. She got the same response; no one answered. Clarke sighed to herself and looked to Lexa's garage 'the cars gone, she must be out somewhere' she thought to herself before walking back to her house.
"How'd it go?" Her mum asked from the kitchen
"No one's home" Clarke answered, walking up the stairs to go to her room.
Later that night, Clarke sat on her bed with her laptop, talking to her friends, Raven and Octavia, over Skype. Their conversation mainly consisted of what they plan to do when year 12 starts. Raven wants to ace engineering, Octavia just wants to pass year 12, and Clarke, she just wants to finish school so she can go to college. Clarke had zoned out a bit later when Raven was talking about some new thing she wants to make, when she heard a knock at her window, she hung up the call without saying bye and shut her laptop, she got up and slowly made her way to the window. She opened it to see what had made the noise, when a figure started climbing through the window.
"What the he- Lexa?" Clarke said, watching as the brunette made her way inside and sitting on Clarke's bed, looking around the room.
Clarke was still staring when she got pulled out of her thoughts by Lexa clapping in front of her face
"W-what, what'd you say?" Clarke said, shaking her head so she could try and think straight
"I said, your room looks completely different from what I remember" Lexa repeated
"Uhm…yeah, it's been about 10 years since- Okay, just wondering, how did you get on the roof?" Clarke said, changing topics because she was still confused as to how Lexa had actually gotten on the roof.
"I climbed. You look completely different, well, not completely, otherwise I wouldn't have recognized you" Lexa said, not wanting to talk about herself
"I look completely different? How do you think I feel, I mean, I didn't get tattoos or piercings or anything like you did, I'm just taller"
'Also a lot hotter' Lexa thought to herself. "I'm surprised your room isn't painted pink" Lexa said, looking around again.
"Why…did you think I would be one of those bitchy girls?" Clarke said, half joking, half serious.
"No, no, I just mean, you were always afraid to get dirty, so I thought you might be one of those girls who got into makeup and gossiped and stuff"
"I can't believe you think so lowly of me" Clarke joked, making Lexa laugh
"Do you blame me?" Lexa said
"Well I can see why you maybe would think that" She smirked
Lexa stood up and walked back to the window, turning around to talk to Clarke before she left "Good speaking to you at such a late hour, but now I must head off, maybe go back to my house or something"
"You can just go out the front door you know…" Clarke said looking as Lexa hopped out the window
"I'm good, thanks" She turned around but stayed still for a few seconds before facing Clarke again "May we meet again" She said, quietly, before climbing down from the roof.
Clarke stayed still for a few seconds, comprehending everything that just happened before closing her window and going to bed. She didn't fall asleep for a while, due to the overload of thoughts and questions about Lexa. But when she did sleep, it was peaceful.
